Iconic record album covers.

How about these three bad boys

Not sure if I would describe this one as iconic but I always think it is an amazing piece of art.

For me, these three spring to mind.

Danny Baker has just said that the Abbey Road album was originally going to be called Everest as the Beatles suggested having a picture of them stood near the summit of Mount Everest.
The matter was forgotten about and then several months later one of the record company visited them in the studios towards the end of the recording sessions and said that they have to get round to organising the trip for the photo shoot.
Paul McCartney said why don’t which just go outside and as a consequence the Everest album became the Abbey Road album and the zebra crossing has become a shrine ever since and one of the most iconic album covers was created and quite possibly the most copied cover ever from the sheer number of people that have had their photos taken across the crossing.
Don’t know if there’s any truth in it but I liked the story and thought I would share it.

I used to date a girl from Lorient. Nice part of the world. This is all.

Great thread idea by the way. I'm still trying to think of my no 1.
